Sony says it has over 1 million preorders for PlayStation 4
by Nessa Fisher IT StaffCOLOGNE, Germany —
Sony has had more than 1 million preorders worldwide for
its new PlayStation 4 console, the head of its SCE computer entertainment
division said on Tuesday.
SCE Chief Executive Andrew House added that the console
will be available from Nov. 15 in North America and will hit stores in Europe
from Nov 29.
“The response we have received is nothing short of
incredible,” he said at a news conference on the sidelines of Gamescom,
Europe’s biggest videogames fair.
He added the console will be available in 32 countries
worldwide during the holiday season.
Microsoft Corp has said it will start selling its latest
console at some point in November, intensifying competition ahead of the
year-end holidays and gift-giving season.
Sony has priced the PlayStation 4, its first new console
in seven years, $100 lower than the new Xbox One by Microsoft at $399.
Microsoft unveiled the Xbox One in May, its first new
gaming console in eight years, marking its strongest push so far to dominate
consumers’ living rooms with an array of exclusive media content.
Microsoft Europe’s Vice President of Interactive
Entertainment Chris Lewis said on Tuesday preorders for the Xbox One were
“unprecedented” but declined to give more details.
Sony said it would also cut the retail price for its
PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita devices to $199 in the United States and 199
euros ($270) in Europe.
Previously the Vita was 249 euros and the PlayStation 3
was 229 euros.
